Publisher's Synopsis
"Couple of weeks' time, the human race is gonna discover it's not as cracked up as it thinks it is..."In 1983, a gang of fourteen-year-old vandals from an English seaside town stumble upon a powerful technology and the unwelcome knowledge of an approaching calamity. Pursued by a huge, murderous alien, short on time and none-too-blessed with brains (nor morals), they set off on a mission to save the human race. Sometimes dark, often hilarious, but never less than entertaining, David Gamer's debut novel is a fast-paced, epic adventure that takes us from a shingle beach to the stars, and even to the source of the Universe itself.
